List of monarchs of Scotland
From Freepedia
The Kingdom of Scotland (Alba) was first unified as a state by Kenneth I of Scotland (Kenneth MacAlpin) in 843. It ceased to exist as an independent kingdom following the Acts of Union in 1707, when it was merged with the Kingdom of England to form the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Today, Scotland exists as one of the constituent countries and nations of the United Kingdom, alongside England, Wales and Northern Ireland, "Her (or His) Majesty's Peculiars", and a number of colonial holdings.
All Scottish monarchs held the title King of Scots or Queen of Scots, with the exception of the final three: William III, Mary II and Anne used the style "of Scotland" rather than "of Scots".
